arguing isn’t communication
it’s just noise
hardly intimidating or impressive
a waste of energy time and voice

you’re trying to be right
so I know
that you’re not interested in listening
don’t care to learn or grow

throw your fists and stomp feet wildly
so I can respond the way I would a child
see, I can tell by your reaction
that I triggered such passion

with words that hit
just a little bit
close to home
